Faith Your Seventh-Sense

By HUMPHREY O. AKPARAH

Faith, Your Seventh-Sense

We are at our best, and we are happiest when we totally engage our Seventh-Sense toward the realization of the goals and dreams that we have set for ourselves. It gives purpose and assurance to our efforts and peace of mind to our souls. It makes life worthwhile, worth living, wonderful and fulfilled. Your FAITH is your Seventh-Sense.

Faith is a powerful sense-ability and motivational word combined. It is a tested truth and contains principles by which any one may succeed in any endeavor depending on your own definition of success. Faith is a success button. It is such an amazing gift that so many people neglect out of ignorance.

Faith is the compass of the soul. Faith is the lifeline of all humans; without it, fear, doubt, anxiety, unbelief, sickness and failure are the alternatives. A strong faith is an antidote against stress, fear, sickness and failure. Faith is the mother of all achievements.

Living a fulfilled life would be almost impossible without a well developed faith-ability. And you cannot overcome any of your fears; whether it is the fear of failure, death, poverty, sickness, criticisms, personal insecurities, etc., until you begin to apply the principles and powers of your faith. With the added advantage of a vibrant faith-ability you stand taller in the spirit than those who only rely on the five senses.

You will discover the amazing power of your faith after reading this book. Your faith will rise to action-oriented and problem-solving levels. You will also receive a faith that potentially destroys fears, generates miracles, and changes situations. This is because faith is a developed ability and a conditioned state of mind to trust and not doubt. It is a life support and life sustainer in times of adversity. You could do more for yourself through the power of your faith than a million dollars would. You are richer than you think through faith and poorer than you imagined without it. Faith, your 7th Sense ability.

About the Book

About the Author

FAITH

Faith is the assurance that whatever we hope for and believe we will receive or get it.

The Seventh-Sense Faith begins with this mindset: Whatever you vividly conceive or imagine and hope for, passionately long for or desire, courageously believe and repeatedly ask for, painstakingly and sacrificially pursue, enthusiastically and actively work on, patiently and committedly wait for will surely manifest or materialize in its physical equivalence.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Finally I pray for special blessings on all who will read this book: that your faith would be strengthened and that your Seventh-Sense would become your strongest weapon even in your weakest moments.

PREFACE

In the history of the world there was never a public revelation of the seventh sense until Jesus Christ; and among the early apostles and disciples none else understood and utilized faith consciously and intentionally as the Apostle Paul who wrote extensively about it in his Pauline epistles.

Yet faith was not revealed to him as the seventh sense. Today God is making a conscious effort to reveal faith to the world as your seventh, most powerful and highest sense-ability ever known to man. With faith you will conquer and overcome any and every obstacle and rise above life’s inhibiting factors, self limiting beliefs, thoughts and mind set; particularly spiritual and supernatural factors that so easily beset us and master us.

The seventh sense is the new revelation that the media should pick up and publicize for the benefit of all mankind. Therefore, everyone should understand that faith is not a religious word but a living word and a human word. We should talk about it in the public, teach it to our children in schools, and study it in the universities. It holds the key to solving most of humanities problems, eradicating poverty, creating superabundance, solving conflict and restoring peace to the world. Faith is peaceful and works well in the atmosphere of peace. A well developed money-sense is not picked up on the street so also faith-sense or seventh sense knowledge is not picked in the street. It must be taught even from childhood.

Once in a century God releases wisdom to access His divine nature and attributes and illuminates human minds to understand some mysteries of creation or that exist in creation which have not been revealed before. The seventh sense is one of such mysteries. I must confess that I do not understand this reality anymore than any one else but it’s been revealed for us to study and research its validity.

We all understand the five senses and some people understand the sixth sense but the seventh sense is still a mystery. Due to this ignorance we all use the seventh sense everyday and in different ways but do not know or understand and recognize it. This ignorance has led to the sub-functioning and underutilization and under-development of faith in our lives.

One aspect of faith that we are familiar with is obviously faith toward God. But there is also faith toward self, other people and toward things. The seventh sense controls and harnesses all the abilities of all the other senses and empowers then to their highest state of fitness, achievement and capabilities that we allow.

Each sense instrument performs a specific role. For instance, the eye is for seeing and visioning, the ear is for hearing and auditory but the seventh sense, faith, is for empowerment and surfing the wonderful and limitless worlds of the unknown where everything is possible.

Faith empowers imagination, action, visioning, risk-taking, personal development, success, achievement and life itself. It is the consummation and the realization of everything we are and everything we need and hope to become. Faith is such a beautiful spiritual and emotional sense that makes everything possible.

Because faith is a Spirit ‘the spirit if faith’, we must believe it before we can access it. Anything short of believing is academic and terrestrial. The scripture says And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I believed and therefore I spoke, we also believe and therefore speak. 2 Corinthians 4:13.

Therefore, if you do not believe then you should not speak or criticize this assertion because you are not standing on the same pedestal as those who believe. You have to be a believer in order to fully understand the spiritual aspects of faith. As I said earlier, faith is both a spiritual and a natural word.

As the eye is specialized purely for seeing or visioning, the ear solely for hearing and the hand purposely for handling, touching or holding, so also is faith designed for enhancement, activation and empowerment of all the other senses. Because the seventh sense is not physical as the five senses it possesses supernatural sense-abilities of its own and, therefore, can and do override the physical senses in the exercise of its role. For instance, a blind man cannot see with the physical eyes but a blind man can have faith and see with the seventh sense.

FAITH AND FULFILMENT

Earl Nightingale said, "We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in the work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our pursuit and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life wonderful and so worthwhile."

In the same vein I also say……………………………………, We are at our very best, and we are happiest when we totally engage our Seventh- Sense toward the realization of the goals and dreams that we have set for ourselves. It gives purpose and assurance to our efforts and peace of mind to our souls. It makes life worthwhile, worth living, wonderful and fulfilled. It is only through faith that we can transcend our limitations.

This is because you can see farer afield with the eyes of faith, hear and understand the inaudible, touch and take hold of the realms of the supernatural and lift up ourselves from our limiting factors. The seventh sense is a sense worth developing because your life will be accelerating at your highest level of both divine and human vibration.

You may not be totally fulfilled when you are not living in the level of your highest faith. There will still continue to be the void and emptiness that constantly yawns to be filled. It is at the level of your seventh sense or highest faith that you are fulfilled and at peace with yourself. When you are at peace with yourself, almost everything else will be at peace with you and you will find fulfilment in whatever you do whether you are rich or poor it doesn’t matter. Life does not necessarily consist in the abundance of things you possess but in the quality of faith-power you command.

Listen to Apostle Paul’s valedictory message about the fulfilment of life’s purpose. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2Timothy 4:7-8.

FAITH AND LIFE

The Seventh Sense supports and enriches life, hope, joy, patience, wholeness, peace, love, supernatural illumination and divine nature. The reason most Christians have not attained the level of oneness with God that they desire is because of our shallow understanding of faith and the lack of conscious and intentional application of the power of our seventh sense.

It is written God is faithful and Jesus lamented the lack of faith in his disciples and in his generation. If God himself uses faith to operate, how is it that we have become to big and too scientific that we count faith irrelevant in our lives today? Yes, whether you realize it now or not you need faith to operate successfully in this world no matter your level of your education or the lack thereof. Faith is one of the most essentials of life just as money is the most essential for living. Faith is not gotten through much education, in fact, the opposite has proved to be the norm, i.e. the more educated and rich the less we think of faith. Yet when the more educated find faith, they seem to abandon everything else in pursuit of the uplifting and fulfilling power of the seventh sense.

As said before all achievements and successes come from the application of faith, it follows, therefore, that to enjoy success, joy, peace, good health, abundance, wholeness/wellness and a higher than normal quality of life on a continual basis, you must understand and apply faith principles. It is not very difficult but requires a new orientation and practice.

The word faith has become so synonymous with religion and religious jargon that it is fast losing its meaning. Seeing faith only in the light of religion is dangerous and makes people shy away from the real meaning and importance of the word and its concepts, implications and applications towards its actual purpose[s]. Faith is much higher and deeper than the cursory definitions attached to it.

Faith is actually your Seventh Sense [7th Sense]. Faith is a perceptive-sensory power within you. It is higher and more powerful than all the other six senses combined and is completely within your control. It is high time we took a more serious look at this powerful and unique sense-ability that is freely given to us and which many of us have very little understanding of.

Faith is not just a religious word. It is a success button. It is the undiscovered, under-developed and underutilized sense-ability that will change your world if you tap into it and develop it as any one of the other senses. The other six senses are sight, touch, smell, taste, hearing and the unnatural/supernatural faculty of the sixth sense which I call the super-conscious. The super-conscious, to a large extent, involuntarily accesses the supernatural world without the conscious efforts of the individual and that includes miracles. Faith is higher than miraculous manifestations because faith was before miracles and faith produces miraculous manifestations and not the other way around.

Faith on the other hand accesses the invisible worlds with all consciousness and can be developed, controlled and utilized at will to give and/or receive things from the supernatural and invisible worlds particularly from God. Although the word faith is used mostly in religious circles and I have used it in line with scriptures in this book; faith is a human word that makes things to happen in the natural world that would not have otherwise. Because much of what we know about faith comes from the scriptures, many people think the word is purely a religious word. Faith works from within you to harness and connect the God of all creation. Do you have faith, if you do, in what or who? Faith is the hand that receives gifts and blessings from the Omnipotent. Faith is your success button.

INTRODUCTION

Do you know that you have more senses than five? Have you heard that you have the sixth and seventh senses? Do you know anything about your seventh sense? Do you know that the seventh sense motivates and to a large measure controls all the other senses? Would you like to know more about this powerful and super-ordinary sense? Would you like to know how your success and failure in life and eternity could depend on how you use your seventh sense? This book will bring you into reality with your most valuable perceptive, sensory and spiritual gift.

Furthermore, have you ever wondered why you are sometimes or so often afraid, and have you thought of why you sometimes find it difficult to take decisions or make up your mind quickly even when you have all the information you need? Are you surprised about your inability to take firm action on some issues and on other issues you take strong and immediate action? And have you considered why you are so risk averse or afraid to take risks? These and more questions will be discussed in the chapters that follow. This book, the Amazing Power of Faith, will bring you to a new realm of power and possibilities that will change your life now and for all eternity.

Faith is your Seventh Sense. Faith is the most amazing force or power that resides within you. Faith is a universal phenomenon. Everyone possesses a measure of it. Everyone uses it to some extent. Everyone needs more of it. Everyone falls short of accessing the full power and potentials of faith as a sense instrument.

As a sense instrument, faith harnesses all the qualities of the other six senses, so that it can see, hear, smell, touch, walk, talk, and perceive just like them. And it also has force, speed, power and abilities far beyond our human comprehension. Faith is a naturally spiritual grace or gift that you were born with; it develops and grows as you grow older until it peaks at a certain age or until you renew or activate the spiritual faith. Faith as the Seventh-Sense is the undiscovered, underutilized and underestimated perceptive/sensory instrument or ability in human existence.

Faith is the conviction or confidence that helps us to believe things, make decisions, take actions and take risks. Faith is the force or power that motivates from within. Faith, like grace, permeates every fabric of our being and affects every aspect of our lives. You could never live a day without faith.

Faith will make you rise to any occasion or challenging situations without fear. Faith is what makes you get off the
